I am not sure I understand this - what range of values for the hex are 
accepted then?

Also, I've asked about the event-triggers in shorewall as I intend to 
run a script which creates my tcfilters file to be compiled by shorewall 
- I intended to use "init", but you mentioned in one of your previous 
posts that a "compile" script/file may be what is needed. In that script 
I have to load all my ipsets (which is what I am currently doing in 
"init") and then substitute the values in my tcfilters template with the 
actual ipset values and then pass the resulting file to shorewall for 
compilation.

I know this is quite ugly, but I cannot see a better solution at present.

Finally, one more query before I delve into this - is it possible to 
enforce "traffic shaping" on a lo (loopback) device? I know it may 
sound/look a bit idiotic, but I am using this device to run quite a lot 
of "services" (mainly as a tunnel via the ssh server) and would like to 
prioritise these. Is there actually a limit on the lo device? If so, how 
much is it? The lo device is already in use by shorewall (i.e. it is 
defined/used in zones as well as rules and secmarks files).
